  4 0 Not sure what you mean by "security seal" but you should see https:// on the URL. If you don't see the "s" then it's not safe. If you do, then the chances are better. To be safer, login to your credit card site and they will (probably) provide you with a throway (one time use) number to use instead of using your real #. That way if there is a problem, it will stay localized.

It doesn't mean anything.

  2 0 If they use paypal, you shouldn't have to enter your credit card information. Just pay with your paypal account. Basil answered in Whatever 11 months ago | Report 3 comments by change username, Basil, and Fnarf… 1 0 I don't want a PayPal account if i had something online that stored my credit card number oh man would i be in debt that's why I just have a amazon.com wish list and every once in awhile I'll buy something off of it. I'm not allowed to have PayPal. change username commented 11 months ago | Report 1 0 Well, if it's Amazon you are worried about you can trust them. Otherwise, it is kind of hard to tell based solely on whether they accept Paypal. Maybe somebody else knows the details of what makes a site 100% secure. I tend to just use my rule of thumb: If it seems like they are semi-respectable, and they probably have regular customers that they wouldn't want to piss off, I go for it. Basil commented 11 months ago | Report 0 0 Basil, I think his concern about Paypal isn't security but his willpower to not buy everything on the internet and rack up huge credit card bills.

  1 0 Using Paypal is actually like using a debit card. Paypal has your bank account information attached to your account with them. When you authorize a payment to a vendor or auction seller they request transfer of the appropriate amount of money directly from your account to Paypal and they transfer it to the other party. Your credit card information or bank account information is never crossing the ether to/from unsecured sites in the process. When I initially set up with them years ago they made two very minor deposits in my account and had me double check that these amounts of money made it into my account successfully (total of maybe 30 cents). From then on I have often used the Paypal method of payment instead of entering a card number. One benefit is that you rarely have to enter any other address info, etc. If the item is being shipped to the address attached to your Paypal info you just authorize the payment and the shipping info goes to the vendor with the payment.

  0 0 If the website doesn't use HTTPS on the page where it's asking for your CC info, it is most certainly not safe. You could always post a link to the site in question.
